More of life's little joys

I was reading some past posts when I came across this one and I decided I wanted to post more about the little things in my life that help contribute to its overall awesomeness.
1. Soft pink dryer lint. It sounds silly, but every time I clean out the lint catcher on the dryer after I've done a load of Mim's laundry, I just have to smile.

2. TV shows on DVD. I don't think this really needs an explanation.

3. Google calendar. I've used this more and more frequently since being pregnant and having a baby- treating and preventing further "mommy brain" symptoms.

That's it for now, but expect more in the future.

Haircut!

I went to Hillary on Tuesday for my long-awaited haircut. So, the before:


And the afters:I donated the ponytail to Locks of Love, but first I used it to chase my niece around.

And curlyMike's been working on this little beauty for awhile now, and decided to unveil the same day I cut my hair. Coincidence?
Also, Mike and I went to the Haven Bazaar today and got free scalp treatments and glitter toes (glitter toes apply to me only). Check these babies out.

Don't mind the pants tucked into my flip flops thing, it's what all the cool kids are doing.

If you don't like kittens you're a bad person

Danger had 3 kittens awhile ago and they are super cute. The other one (not in the picture) is orange like his sibling, but with white socks. He's also the runt and we call him Buster. We call the other orange one Milo and the black and white one Tux. They need good homes, so if you know of someone who wants a kitten in the next few weeks, let us know. We've had some maybes just by word of mouth, but the time is coming where they'll need definite homes, so if you hear anything...

Leda's visit

Leda was back in Utah for a couple of days back in mid-May, and we all managed to at least get some of the old 216 gang together for dinner and chatting. Not getting to be roommates with these girls is the only downside of marriage, if you ask me. I must echo Leda's sentiments that she posted here- I admire these girls so much and have been so lucky to have had them as my closest friends for so long. Love you guys!

Mim's Blessing

Mike blessed Mim on May 17th at our ward here in Lehi. Mike did a great job and Mim was adorable, as you might expect. She slept through the whole thing, which was kind of a relief. She wore the christening gown that Mike wore when he was blessed (yup, he totally wore a lace dress) for the actual blessing and then later on I changed her into my blessing dress (which I was surprised she was big enough for- I was almost 2 pounds heavier than her when I was born). It was a great day and super fun to have our family and friends over- some still hadn't even seen the house since we'd moved in. And now, the pictures:
